After years of pimping for Wall Street in Congress, former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has landed a well-paying gig with a Wall Street bank.

No surprise there, right?

Ah, but the announcement from Moelis & Co. that the former Virginia lawmaker has joined its ranks is a model of comedy.

The press release praises Cantor as a “leading voice on the economy and job creation,” who worked in Congress “to lower taxes, eliminate excessive regulation, strengthen small businesses, and encourage entrepreneurship.”
